BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Public Services Introduction: A large number of public services play a vital role in how society deals with crime and how crime affects society. Public services such as the police, probation and prison service work directly with crime, criminals and society. This unit will enable learners to acquire an understanding of the effects crime has on a victim and society, including quality of life, the manifestation of ‘fear of crime’ and the financial implications to society. To assist in problem solving, learners will be required to identify service providers who offer support, crime prevention advice and reassurance to victims of crime. This includes crime-reduction strategies, multi-agency partnerships, reducing the fear of crime, helping them to develop an awareness of community improvement. This unit explores crime reporting and recording systems used by the police and the guidelines set out in the current National Crime recording standards. Learners will be introduced to how local police tackle crime trends using a problem-solving approach, which includes the National Intelligence Model and researching crime investigation and detection techniques. Learners will examine the judicial system and identify the options available to process and manage offenders – for example final warnings and reprimands, cautions, fixed penalty notices, prosecution – explaining the subsequent outcome.
Scenario: As a local volunteer neighbourhood watch member you have decided to design an information pack for new and existing members based on the local effects of crime. You are also going to include within your pack a section which highlights how the public services help and assist victims of crime so the local residents can access the most appropriate public service in the event that they are a victim of crime. Also as a feature within this pack you have decided to produce a case study of a local crime reduction initiative which will look specifically at the positives and negatives of the programme along with your own thoughts and ideas. To maintain a professional appearance this pack will; have to be well presented and match the needs of your local community.

BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Public Services Task 1: P1: Explain the role of public services in assisting and supporting victims of crime.
1. Produce a poster which identifies a minimum of 3 public services (one statutory, one non-statutory and one voluntary) 2. Explain how each of these public services assist and support victims of crime (including businesses, communities, minority groups and individuals). 3.
Give realistic examples of actual crimes and how they would assist and support.
Each poster should be colourful and include a title and images to represent the content. Example;
1. Public Service Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme
2. Explanation of the role of the above P.S. assists and supports victims of crime The criminal injuries compensation scheme offers financial compensation for victims of crime; such as Losses because of theft of, or damage to, property; losses because of fraud; loss of earnings while off work; medical expenses; travelling expenses; pain and suffering; and loss, damage or injury caused to, or by, a stolen vehicle. In some cases, surviving dependants of a victim who died during, or as a direct result of, a crime may be entitled to compensation.
3. Realistic example of actual crime and how this specific P.S. would assist/support In the event of an assault been committed this P.S. would cover any losses because of damaged articles. They would also cover any medical expenses caused due to the attack e.g. specialist health care; this would also include taxi fares to and from hospital or specialist health care units plus lost wages from work.
